HIS NAME WAS NOT SAMSON
A Scotchman in search of work was recently given employment as a laborer at Cramp’s shipyard. His first job was to carry several heavy planks. After he had been at it for about two hours we went to the foreman and said: ‘ Did ah tell you ma name when I started to work ?’ ‘ Yes,’ replied the foreman, ‘ you said it was Tomson.’ ‘ Oh, then it’s a’right,’ said the Scot, as he looked toward the pile of planks he had yet to carry. ‘ Ah was jist a-wunnerin’ if you thocht ah said it was Samson.’
